The boarding school at the Anglican Mission at Hay River opened in 1895 and was soon receiving government grants. A new residential school building was constructed in 1917. In 1935 negotiations were underway to amalgamate Hay River and Shingle Point schools into one new facility. All Saints Anglican school in Aklavik opened in 1936, becoming the focus of Anglican education in the region. Hay River closed in 1937 and all but local students were transferred to new facilities in Aklavik. The Hay River mission continued to operate a day school for local children in the school after this.
